Subject: MathPlayer beta 4 is now available
Date sent: Mon, 17 Jun 2002 16:17:34 -0700
Dear MathPlayer users/testers:
MathPlayer beta 4 is now available. The biggest change is the addition of a
right-click menu. This menu contains:
- A Copy command that copies an equation's MathML to the clipboard for
pasting into any application that understands MathML (e.g. Mathematica,
Maple) or into a web editor. Drag-and-drop also works.
- Links to our web site.
- Our snazzy new "About MathPlayer" window.
We expect to be adding more commands to this menu in future versions,
including "Open With ..." items to send the MathML to specific applications for
calculation, plotting, authoring, etc. Give us feedback on how you like the new
menu and, if you have any ideas for new commands on the menu, please let us
know.
We've also added some material to the MathPlayer web site:
- MathPlayer on the Macintosh and other Platforms:
http://www.dessci.com/webmath/mathplayer/mac.stm. So many of you have asked
about this that we needed to respond.
- Our Internet Explorer Bug List:
http://www.dessci.com/webmath/mathplayer/bugs/iebuglist.stm. This page lists
Internet Explorer 6.0 bugs and limitations that we hope Microsoft will fix. We
offer this page in the hope that MathPlayer users will join us in encouraging
Microsoft to do so. As they say, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."
Installing MathPlayer beta 4 is easy. Just go to the MathPlayer home page
(http://www.dessci.com/webmath/mathplayer), click on Install MathPlayer, and
follow the instructions.
Please, please report any bugs, questions, etc. to [log in to unmask] As
usual, your comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks again for your interest in MathPlayer.
